How to add a plugin to your WordPress site:
If you don’t already have one set up your super search account: https://supersearch.hi-orbit.com/register
In your account on the Super Search dashboard select ‘Sites’ from the side menu. Next click on the ‘Create site’ button in the top right.
Enter your domain name. Make sure to include the full url including either http:// ot https:// (the transfer protocol).
Underneath this is site type which is automatically set to WordPress.
Click on ‘Create’ to save your site
On the Super Search dashboard, select ‘sites’ in the sidebar
Now you can see your site domain(s), and the public and private API keys.
Click ‘Save’
To set up your posts, pages and products so that they show in the search you need to sync them to our database.
Log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to ‘Settings’ and then ‘Super Search’ in the side menu.
Select sync in the top tabs on the Super Search dashboard and click each of the buttons shown below.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you do not navigate away from or close the web browser while syncing is taking place.
Once all the sync progress bars have reached 100% your search is ready!
It may take a few minutes once the sync has been completed for the database to index the products and the changes to show on the frontend
You only need to manually run the sync for setup. After this Super Search keeps track of any IDs that have changed and they will be updated on the search database once a day. You can manually re-sync at any time to push changes sooner.
To add Super Search to your website use the shortcode supersearch
Make sure to remove the default search if you do not want users to use it.
